The Australian Outback can be a lonely place, but a male kangaroo and his female pig companion appear to have found a solution.
Photographs of the two animals show they are extremely intimate friends, and the farmer who owns the pig says they have been in a relationship for a year.
Sydney-based PhD candidate Ryan Frazer said he found the couple getting very cosy as he passed by a paddock in Aileron, near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, during a research trip.
He took a series of photographs, which show the kangaroo at first cuddling up to the female pig - whose name is Apples - placing his paws on both sides of the animal while crouched in front of her - as if they two animals were hugging. There were also two geese in the paddock, and one watched on from up close.
